Building a Drupal-powered Document Management System for Higher Education

Explore the world of efficient document management in higher education and discover how Drupal can be a versatile platform for building robust document management systems. This session will showcase real-world examples, best practices, and the benefits of using Drupal for document management in higher ed.

Are you tired of off-the-shelf, limited, and restrictive document management solutions but concerned about the level of effort required to build your own? Have no fear, Drupal is here.

We will walk you through the process we followed to build a custom DMS that integrates with End Note for a higher education client. At the end of this session, attendees will be able to apply the techniques, tips and tricks they acquired, to build their own document management solution.

Rob Montero

I am a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with over 20 years of experience in web development. My weapon of choice is PHP and Drupal, but I am well versed in front-end and dev ops.

For the last decade, I have focused on Drupal development. With two Grand Master certifications on my belt, and looking for new and exciting challenges, I now dabble with quite some proficiency in front-end technologies like JAMstack, Gatsby, Hugo, Jekyll, Forestry, Stackbit, Contentful, GraphQL, building both ends of the bridge: REST APIs and plugins for Gatsby, Hugo, and other static site generators.

I use AI in most of my daily chores, and as a true fan of emerging technologies I try to leverage AI in expanding my development capabilities to build better and faster.
